No activism today. I think humans get burned out by being exposed to the injustice in the world. So today I'm just sharing some of my awww … and awe.

I am in awe of Helen Keller. She saw more being blind than most see with their eyes wide open. Here are some of her inspiring words. They strike the sweet part of the bat for me ….

“No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit. Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another’s pain, life is not in vain. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world right in the eye.” Helen Keller
